Applesauce Oatmeal Pancakes

While boxes of pancake mix are convenient, it really doesn't take much time to make your own pancake batter. For a little extra fiber, try these yummy applesauce oatmeal pancakes. Resist the temptation to top them with butter. A little maple syrup is perfect, or try some warmed applesauce and a sprinkling of cinnamon.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or substitute whole wheat flour for half the amount)

• 1 tbsp canola oil

Preparation:

1. Place ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk until well blended.
